I dents in the vicinity. Fortunately no

! There is reported to be catamount or
. some other large animal of the kind in
/ Shedd's woods on Dorset street. The an
imal was seen by one of the residents III
the vicinity last week, and some boys
picking berries were frightened out Of the
woods by its cries. Quite a party went
out, Sunday afternoon, but having no
dog were unable to track the animal. A
flock of sheep in the vicinity has been Wis
tied and one of them carried off. The
local nimrods are preparing to risk their
lives in the defense of the community.
A resident says "this city only needs a
mammoth summer hotel to make it one of
the most popular summer resorts in the
country 1t has easy connections for side
trips to the Adirondacks, St Lawrence
and White mountains for those who wish
to 90 but it has at adjacent points on the
lake beaches and scenery that are unsur
passed. The breezes from the lake ensure
a more moderate temperature than car
be found at many watering places, and
all that it lacks is a big, well equipped
summer hotel.
Some of the property holders on South
Winooski avenue, who have been lef
by the recent grading operation:
of the street commissioners away
above the level of the common
world, are quite as indignant as were tn,
Pearl street property holders when the,
were served in the same manner. 1t Ger
tGnly does seem hard that the owners o
real estate should be compelled to SCI
their property fronts mutilated in thi
way, and have to pay for it too. ON
prominent citizen residing on South Wi
nooski avenue has promptly offered hi
place for sale, declaring that it has beef
ruined as a place of residence This ques
ton of bringing the streets to grade il
likely to create no little bitterness Of feel
ing in the future, we fear.
